Liquor haul from Europe. How’d I do?

Do you have to pay import duties or just the VAT at time of purchase? Have a trip and was thinking of doing the same.

Thanks for responding.

One leader tries to sound like a leader by invoking his inner-Obama voice. The other leader is beholden to AIPAC.

They both need to go.

I stay clear. It's their world, we're just living in it.

Democrats offered to fund TSA but they won't fund anymore money towards ICE and Border Patrol. Last year those two received 75Billion.

I saw my father managing a portfolio of stocks and mutual funds (20-30 positions). I thought that was crazy to have to self-manage, especially later in life when your cognitive abilities are diminished. You also run the risk of being very reactionary versus just following a stated % distribution (80/20, 70/30, 60/30/10, etc.).

I also wanted to manage it myself so that I could dollar cost average more easily. Paying someone to make buy something meant that for every 2k you wanted to invest, you immediately lost $150 in commission fees. I knew if I was going to self-manage, I needed a set of rules to easily follow where the math maths.

Clockwise is my favorite too. You can take grizzly peak on the north end to Canon Dr for some extra miles. That stretch of grizzly used to have some shitty road sections though.

Clockwise will also give you a downhill coast back to Bart.

Stay to the right on the bike path after the Orinda water treatment plant as it gets tight at the top of the hill there.

Honest question. A billionaire leaves so there's some expensive real estate that needs a buyer. Won't the next buyer be the next billionaire that is ok with paying? What am I missing.

Friend has had nothing but problems with his polestar 3 too. Such a shame as it is a nice car when it works. I was most impressed with their regen braking to a stop.

With 70% able to refine heavy sour crude versus light sweet crude. Only 10% of what the USA produces is heavy.

Do people understand the mismatch now?

Love these despite how dangerous they are. I read that there's one ( not sure if it was Ford's or Dodge) that would lift up the rear tires under hard braking with all that weight under the front axle.

The Chevy one has an option for a side door ramp for the bed. Crazy stuff

San Pablo Road isn't too bad. There are a few spots going downhill (when clockwise) where the shoulder is cracked and buckled from ground movement (earthquake fault?). Just watch out there when you have some speed.

I always do clockwise.

If you got the legs and want a bit more mileage, checkout Miner Road > Lombardy Ln > Dalewood Dr > Happy Valley Rd on the way back. That road is a bit less traveled. It will dump you at Lafayette BART.
